Tanka reading performance oveseas.

It was my first tanka-reading presentation (with German translation) in Germany. Traben-Trarbach turned out to be the 39th city where I performed reading overseas. Mr. Stefan Wolfshutz, a member of German Haiku Association, introduced me to the audience. |
 |
Ms. Valeria Barouch, a poet who translated my tanka into German, supported me to offer German version while my reading performance. |
 |
When I received comments from the audiene saying they were impressed with my performance, I felt relieved, and was very happy at the same time. |
 |
This is the internet poetry journal in which German verison of my tanka is poseted. I selected 10 pieces from my anthology, "INDIGO", and Ms. Valerie Barouch translated them into German. |
 |
Owing for Ms. Ono's much efforts, this bilingual Japanese-German tanka collection selected by Mr. Yukitsuna Sasaki has completed. I also performed reading 10 pieces of tanka from this book. I have got along very well with Ms. Masami Ono-Feller, who completed a huge project of compiling Japanese-German version tanka collection. |
 |
I sincerely wish our good relationship lasts forever. |

The weather forcast was wrong, and I was very happy about it. I was able to spend comfortable morning. |

Apr. 25, I presented easy bilingual tanka to about 30 students in the younger class at ECOLE JEAN GROU. It was a different class from the one I interacted yesterday. It must have been their first experience to hear 5-7 syllables meter. They were listening my presentation very carefully. |
 |
After listening tanka reading, we had fun with Origami. Due to the school rule, I cannot show their lovely faces. |
